How to Make No-Bake Mini Banana Cream Pies
1. Make the Crust
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
2. Form the Mini Crusts
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin tin to create mini pie crusts. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
3. Prepare the Banana Pudding
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant banana cream pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to set.
4. Make the Whipped Cream
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
5. Combine the Filling
Fold half of the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture to make it extra creamy.
6. Assemble the Mini Pies
Spoon the banana pudding into the chilled pie crusts.
7. Add the Toppings
Top each mini pie with a dollop of the remaining whipped cream, a banana slice, and a drizzle of honey.
8. Chill & Serve
Refrigerate until ready to serve, or enjoy immediately!
